I was initially attracted to this jacket because I like the versatility and idea of a reversible jacket. It seemed like it could easily transition from a zip-up sweater to wear in the office to a windproof jacket when heading out to lunch. I read some reviews on this website which stated that the collar of the jacket was rather stub and did not feel sufficient to protect your neck from the wind and other elements. I found this to be true, particularly on the jacket side not the fleece-sweater side. It was a bit annoying when I was outdoors but nothing too serious. However, multiple other reviews stated that the fleece-sweater side and the jacket side felt like two vastly different sizes. I initially rationalized those complaints; it makes sense that reversing a ... MoreI was initially attracted to this jacket because I like the versatility and idea of a reversible jacket. It seemed like it could easily transition from a zip-up sweater to wear in the office to a windproof jacket when heading out to lunch. I read some reviews on this website which stated that the collar of the jacket was rather stub and did not feel sufficient to protect your neck from the wind and other elements. I found this to be true, particularly on the jacket side not the fleece-sweater side. It was a bit annoying when I was outdoors but nothing too serious. However, multiple other reviews stated that the fleece-sweater side and the jacket side felt like two vastly different sizes. I initially rationalized those complaints; it makes sense that reversing a jacket inside-out would make it feel a bit different, for sure. But as I wore both sides, it truly was such a vast and noticeable difference that I could not ignore it. I ordered an XS after thoroughly measuring myself and when I wore the fleece-sweater side it fit more in-line with a size S, but when I wore the jacket portion it fit like an XXS to the point of not being comfortable. Finally, the fleece kept flaking off every time I wore it! The polyester fluff would end up on my pants, my car seats, my couch, and my office chair. Nothing seemed to help including giving the jacket a good brushing with a lint roller. All three of these reasons when combined made me return this jacket. I could deal with some awkward sizing and a bit of a short collar but when combined with the constant shedding of lint, for the money spent I expected a little more. I hesitate to give this jacket a lower rating because I think given the right conditions and circumstances it could be a great purchase for someone. If you're looking for a versatile piece to add to your camping or hiking bag - one that you might need to adapt to changing weather conditions or throughout the day then this would be a great! A shorter collar might even be good for personal ventilation on a long and sweaty hike. But as everyday wear, this piece unfortunately falls short.

This Microdini jacket, is extremely practical and versatile, and really quite sharp being a fleece jacket, the shell side reminds me of a Cassic James Dean look / rebel without a cause. I got it in teal, I love the colors and the materials and quality are top notch as to be expected from Patagonia. This light teal color especially on the shell side will stain easily (my only concern). I really love this jacket and am looking to get a lot of different use out of it daily if need be, and keep it a long time, as long as I do my part and take good care of it.Plenty heat in here.The sleeves seem a bit shorter then normal, however I have verryy long arms and they still fit in that size L just fine. Cool Jacketo! Highly recommend to anybody, would make a super gift as ... MoreThis Microdini jacket, is extremely practical and versatile, and really quite sharp being a fleece jacket, the shell side reminds me of a Cassic James Dean look / rebel without a cause.

This jacket is great, cozy and fun. It’s potentially the best reversible item I ever had. I find reason to reverse this all the time. For example it’s cooler feeling with the fleece side out, but it’s super easy to flip fleece in if it starts raining. It beaded off an unexpected light rain very nicely. Provides both wind resistance and warmth, personally I find this the perfect 50s to low 60s F casual jacket. It’s not super breathable, so I wouldn’t take it on long hikes, but great for around town. One nitpick, wish they would remove the small size tag the back of it, that diminishes its reversibility, most of the tags are in the pocket, don’t know why they can’t put all tags in the pocket. Also the tag isn’t shown in the product photos which I looked for before ... MoreThis jacket is great, cozy and fun. It’s potentially the best reversible item I ever had.

Also the tag isn’t shown in the product photos which I looked for before buying. Nice people in store helped remove it for me. Overall it’s a great in-between jacket for transitional weather and seasons, would highly recommend if you live in a windy cool area like Northern California. Everything I wear in Patagonia is a medium and this fit great. 6’1 167lbs.
